- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole (for juice and garnish) Lemon

Directions
Step 1
Pat the Chilean sea bass fillets dry with a paper towel and set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
